Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Cortina d'Ampezzo (you can get here via the border crossing Rateče or Predel to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then on the highway in the direction of Udine to the exit Tolmezzo. From Tolmezzo we follow the road in the direction of the village Ampezzo and mountain pass Passo della Mauria. The road then descends and brings us to a crossroads, where we continue left (possible also right) in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. At all following crossroads, we follow the signs for Cortina d'Ampezzo and then we follow the signs for the alpine pass Passo di Falzarego. Already in the first part of the ascent towards the pass Falzarego we will get to a crossroads, where signs for pass Passo di Giau (2233 m) and Marmolada direct us to the left. The road after the pass Giau starts descending, and we follow it through the settlements in the lower part in the direction of Marmolada or pass Passo di Fedaia. The road, which then again starts ascending, brings us higher to the pass Fedaia where we park on the parking lot at the hut Rifugio Fedaia.
Access from Primorska: We drive on the highway in the direction of Padova, but only to the highway junction, where we continue in the direction of Veneto and Belluno. Near Belluno the highway ends, and we follow the road ahead in the direction of the city Belluno, where at the larger crossroads we continue right in the direction of the town Agordo. From the mentioned town onwards we follow frequent signs for Marmolada or pass Passo di Fedaia. When we get to the mentioned pass, we park on the parking lot at the mountain hut Rifugio Fedaia.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the mountain hut Rifugio Fedaia we head on a macadam road towards the mountain hut Rifugio Padon. The macadam road first crosses the main road over a bridge and then ascends along and on the ski slope. The road then turns a little to the right and brings us to the slopes below the cableway, which leads towards the mountain hut Padon. From the path we have all the time a wonderful view on the nearby Marmolada. The macadam road further ascends all the time near the cableway all the way to the saddle Passo Padon.
On the saddle where there is a junction we continue left on the road and to the hut which we have already seen from the path for some time only a short walk follows.
On the way: Passo Padon (2369m)
